Russian Sage was awarded 'Perennial Plant of the Year' in 1995 for a reason. A lengthy floral display begins in July, and continues into October. Upright branching spires of tubular pale blue flowers are held above attractive aromatic grey green dissected foliage. This plant adds to its merits by being untroubled by pests, including rabbits, deer, salt spray, and drought.
